Family Reunion Forum

Hard Times

We are in the initial planning stages of our family reunion which going to be held in the summer of 2009. In previous years, our family reunions have been weekend events with a banquet, picnic, and church service.

But with the recent economic situation, higher gas prices, foreclosures, layoffs, etc. Some of my relatives feel that it is too expensive to have a whole weekend affair. They suggested that we have a smaller reunion consisting of just a family picnic. Do you think this is a good idea?
